Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

What did you say?! Davers thought he had heard it wrong.

Your Majesty, we don't have to attack the city of Satnicum anymore, the Romans are about to surrender! Henipolis repeated happily on the side.

The reason why Davos lost his temper just now was because once Satnicum surrendered, Vilitre, who had less than 3,000 defenders, would be unable to support himself, and it was almost certain that Rome would be completely destroyed.

Thinking that Rome, which dominated the Mediterranean Sea in his previous life, would soon be wiped out by himself, Davos seemed to be in a dream. He pressed the hard tabletop with his hands to stabilize his boiling emotions, and then said in a deep voice, The senior All the generals must be summoned to the tent, and let them all come to witness the moment of Roman surrender!

Olus was wearing a white linen lining with a tailored dark red leather armor, and a big red robe. The papyrus on top, originally had a dagger on his waist, but it was removed by the guards before he entered the tent, so he put his right hand on his waist and held his head up, and walked into Dai. Onia tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw nine people standing on both sides. Most of them were wearing black uniforms and helmets with purple and red tassel. Oulus led the army to fight against Dionia for several months, and knew how to wear it like this. The attire is all senior generals of the Dionian army, but one of them is wearing the attire of a Roman officer, which is also the appearance of a Roman. Oulus felt a little familiar, and he immediately thought that this person may be often scolded by the soldiers. The commander of the Roman rebels, Sextus, gave him a deep look.

Sextus met his gaze without flinching.

Olus immediately stopped his mind and focused his eyes on the center. The King of Dionia was also dressed in military uniform, sitting on a wooden chair and looking at him with a serious expression.

Aulus immediately bowed and saluted, and said loudly in Greek: Dear King Dionia, I am the envoy sent by the Roman dictator Camelus, the commander of the Roman legion, Aulus Comeneius. Corsus, on the orders of Lord Camillous, present to you our letter of surrender.

Davos was quite surprised when he heard it: A letter of surrender?! Regarding surrender, are you not going to put forward some conditions first, and then surrender after reaching an agreement? Just surrender like this?!

The reason has been explained in the letter, you will know after you read it. Aulus raised the wooden scroll in his hand.

Henipolis hurriedly took the scroll and handed it to Davos.

When Davos took a closer look, Olivers suddenly chuckled and said to Georgris who was beside him: Looking at the gesture of the Roman messenger walking into the tent, I thought he was here to tell us that the Romans wanted to It's a deadly battle with us, but I didn't expect it to surrender!

Giorgris took into account the mood of the Roman envoy and did not answer.

Matonis said: Yeah, it's really disappointing! The siege battle is about to start, and the brothers are still looking forward to breaking the city and making contributions!

...

Olus turned a deaf ear to the words of the senior generals of Dionia teasing him. He just stared at Davos in front of him while suppressing the tension in his heart. Send messengers to negotiate, put forward some conditions, and finally reach a surrender agreement, which is more beneficial to them and less likely to arouse the suspicion of the Dionysians, but the spread of the plague in the city is too fast, just within a day of their negotiation , and many soldiers are sick, and the negotiation method is undoubtedly too time-consuming.

When the surrender agreement is reached, I am afraid that most of the people in the city will fall. How can they hide from the Dionysians, so they chose this trick to write a letter of surrender directly in the name of Camelus, which can speed up the progress. .

So that's how it is. Davos put the letter on the table, looked directly at Oros, and said, You have run out of food, and many Roman soldiers have lost their fighting spirit, and actually went to the residence of Camillous to make a scene. Ask them to open the city gate and let them go home... Aulus, is the situation in Rome really so bad?! In my impression, the Romans are tough and will not give in easily. When the Celts occupied Rome, Don't you also stick to Capitoline for half a year, how did you surrender so easily this time?

The time when the Gauls invaded was completely different from this time. The brutality of the Gauls made all the city-states and races in Latinum angry, and you Dionysians Oros glanced at Sextus, He sighed unwillingly: I have to admit, you have allowed many city-states to rely on you, including a large number of civilians in our Rome, so that we can only fight alone now... There is no hope...

Oulus's words came from the bottom of his heart. Davos looked at him and asked again: Is your dictator Camelus okay? I heard that he fell ill during the battle, and has already fallen into a coma.

Oulus said calmly: Sir Camillous is not in a coma, he is only quadriplegic, sick in bed, but his mind is clear, he can speak, give orders, and direct deployment without any problem, this letter is in his dictation. written below.

Henipolis suddenly asked aside: You said in your letter that there is a shortage of food in the city, but you look like you are short of food?

Aulus raised his head again: I have already introduced that I am the commander of the army. If the commander of the army is hungry, how can he command his soldiers to fight?

Don't the generals of your Roman army suffer together with the soldiers? Giorgris couldn't help asking.

The Roman Senate had such a rule, but whether or not to abide by it depends on the self-cultivation of the Roman generals. This person belongs to the Comeneius clan, which is the largest noble in Rome! Sextus said suddenly.

Hey, I really didn't think there was a Roman in Dionia's tent. Orus said contemptuously, but he thanked Sextus for explaining himself.

In this letter, Camelus believes that I can give the surrendered Roman soldiers a good way out. Davos lit the letter with his hand, smiled, and said, Since you belong to Comeneneus Clan, I believe you have heard from the mouths of those Roman families how we deal with the surrendered Roman nobles. For a large clan like Comineeus, it will be completely dismantled and placed in various parts of the kingdom, Can you accept that?

Olus's expression changed, but he said proudly: I believe that the people of our clan can survive well wherever they go!

Davos nodded slightly and asked again, Have all the soldiers in the city already known about the surrender and fully accepted it?

They ... did not express their opposition.

Hearing this, Davos had no doubts in his heart. He raised his eyes and glanced at the generals on the left and right, then increased his voice and said, Okay, let's talk about how to accept your surrender and post-war placement.

Olus breathed a sigh of relief.

Davos left Tormide and Henepolis behind to negotiate surrender with Aulus.

After Mattonis, Olivers and other legionary generals walked out of the tent, they began to talk about the surrender of the Sartnicum garrison. They all seemed regretful and excited: the regret was that they could no longer lead the army to capture Sartre in person. The city of Nicum, which has made a complete defeat of the Romans; the excitement is because the Roman war is about to end, which means that the army will soon go south to fight against the mighty Carthaginians.

At this moment, Matonis saw that the captain of his legion, Ctisus, was hurriedly approaching the tent, and behind him was Stacey Cordas, the chief of the medical battalion and the elder of the Senate.

The anxious Ctisus also saw his superior, hurried over, and before Matonis asked, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Matoniston's face changed greatly, and he immediately looked at Stacey Cordas and asked, Are you sure?!

There is only one person, it is not completely certain. Stacey Cordas said with a serious expression.

Come, follow me to see His Majesty! Matonis said, turning around and rushing towards the tent.

Although the other generals didn't know what was going on, they also felt that something important had happened, and they all followed closely behind.

Oulus wanted to end quickly, so the negotiation progressed quickly. When everything was finalized, he sighed lightly, stood up quickly, and prepared to say goodbye to King Davos.

Your Majesty! Matonis hurried into the tent, rushed to Davos, and whispered a few words to him.

Davos's originally smiling face was immediately covered with a layer of frost, and he tapped the table with his fingers, making a rapid and powerful sound of tat.

After a while, he looked at Aulus with sharp and majestic eyes, and his voice was slow and powerful: Aulus, there is a plague in the city of Satnicum!

What?!! Henepolis, Thormid and others exclaimed.

Oulus is like falling into an ice cellar.

It turned out that after the conspiracy of Aulus, Mejus and others, considering that Aulus could speak Greek, he was appointed as the messenger. As a great Roman nobleman, Aulus believed that even a false surrender could not detract from the prestige of Rome. It must be carried out in accordance with the traditional Roman etiquette, otherwise it would make the enemy suspicious, so he chose a group of soldiers who were checked and healthy as his entourage. , and strictly asked them not to talk about anything in the city of Satnicum after entering the Dionysian camp.

When these people were allowed to enter the Dionysian camp, Aulus went to meet Davos, and the small group of Roman soldiers was left near the camp gate, which was greeted by many Dionysian soldiers. It makes them nervous.
